SOUP KITCHEN RAISES $1,881

Annie44Tue, 12/07/2022 - 11:19am

A big thank you to all those who attended the North Arm Cove Stitch Gatherers “Soup Kitchen” on Saturday 9 July.

Diners heartily enjoyed the soup and many came back for seconds. It was pleasing to see families from outside the area attend, but the Stitch Gatherers were a little disappointed that so few local residents supported the event. Despite the relatively low attendance, a healthy amount was raised for the NSW Cancer Council and a cheque for $1,881 is on its way to them.

Special thanks to the hard working...

BIGGEST MORNING TEA 2020 CANCELLED

Annie44Thu, 19/03/2020 - 5:51pm

Sadly, there will be no "Christmas in May" Biggest Morning Tea in May this year. Due to the Coronavirus risk and the ever changing government regulations regarding the number of people who can attend social functions, the Stitch Gatherers group unanimously decided to cancel the event.

The group also considered the fact that many visitors to the Biggest Morning Tea are 60+ which is the age group at highest risk.

The event will be back even bigger and better in 2021 and the theme will still be "Christmas in May".

Anyone who was...
